Jul 4, 2024, 09:18 PM

Nigel Farage's Reform UK is set to win 13 seats in the UK elections, according to exit polls. This is a significant increase from earlier predictions, which estimated the party would secure only 3-5 seats. The final poll from Survation had suggested Reform UK might win 15 seats. This outcome marks a notable achievement for the party, which entered the campaign with limited financial resources and no sitting MPs. Farage himself is predicted to secure his first-ever seat in Parliament. Mark White reports from Clacton that the party's leader, Richard Tice, had not even discussed seat numbers during the campaign.
